70fastbak 16 Report post Posted December 9, 2014 Thinking about adding side scoops on my 70 fastback. I know this wont be to everyones taste but im doing a resto mod and the sheetmetal is about 70% new so its far from original. Curious if the 70 Shelby vert scoops would fit a fastback. Don't really care to much for the upper scoops that Shelby used on the fastback, I want to do lower scoops. I could fab a pair out of metal but ive got to work on other areas so id rather just buy some right now. Are the quarters the same profile on the verts?...at least the section where the lower scoop would go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rsanter 152 Report post Posted December 9, 2014 The profile in that area is at least very close so putting a set on should not be that hard Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I first saw this thread I thought you were going to add stock '69 fastback scoops to the car which I think would look good, not sure about these though, I think a photoshop first would be a good idea.

Oh yeah the fit is usually terrible which im aware of, being fiberglass tho its pretty easy to fit, ive worked on a lot of shelbys and made the scoops fit perfect which they never were that great. Just a thought about the scoops, I personally think it will look pretty good. I had a scoop from a 2003 cobra which wouldn't work but I taped in place and I think it looked pretty good. Think im going to go for it, but while im making the fit nice and tight I will also fiberglass a wider lip so I can use 3m double sided tape to hold them on just like the new mustangs use. Then I can take them off if I don't like them. Edited December 10, 2014 by 70fastbak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
